On this tudor style home in Glastonbury, CT we encountered a steep, twenty nine year old roof with several leaks. After tear off, we replaced the rotted plywood panels and rafters. The entire shed Dormer deck was then covered with a protective layer of Ice & Water shield. This project was unique in how we removed and replaced all of the chimney flashing with copper instead of lead. We also installed copper flashing in the dormer valleys above the garage.
It can be very taxing deciding whether or not your home needs a roof repair or replacement. During an estimate, fingers are crossed that a minor repair will resolve the exterior issue. Yet quick fixes often turn into big problems down the road, where you'll find the added cost of interior work. Water penetration and ice dams don't just ruin gutters and shingles - they compromise your home's very framing as well as wiring and woodwork. This Glastonbury, CT home had ice dams and leaking from multiple areas. The total roof replacement means the homeowner won't have to worry about their roof for years to come.
Here was one roof replacement of many in Glastonbury, CT, which was also a part of our 'Roof Your Neighborhood' initiative. We save money when buying materials in bulk, and can pass those savings on to homeowners when communities opt to roof their homes together. This project entailed a full strip and re-shingle, and all of the old shingles were recycled for asphalt road paving.
This home in Glastonbury had an old 2-layer roof that had algae and lichen growing on the shingles. Our crew tore off and replaced the roof even though it was in the middle of February. Newer shingles are more flexibility in the cold and our roofers adjust the pressure on the nail guns and technic to match the colder weather. We have done dozens of homes in the winter and will continue to give great quality all year long.
This roof in Glastonbury was only 12 years old but it was not in good shape. It was already failing and had multiple leaks in the house. The owners had us replace the old roof.
